Lawyers to Jacko: You Never Paid Us Backo

JackoAnother batch of Michael Jackson's former lawyers claims the Gloved One screwed them out of dough. Who doesn't Jacko owe money to these days?!

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the King of Pop is accused of stiffing celebrity super-lawyers Lavely & Singer out of $113,750 in legal fees. According to the documents, the lawyers set up a payment plan for the singer to pay off his $180,000 debt, but Jackson never ponied up the final installment.

It's the second time this year that a team of Jackson's former lawyers has accused him of skipping a bill. As TMZ first reported, a Delaware-based law firm sued Jacko in June, claiming he never forked over $109,994.48 he allegedly owed them for acting as "general counsel" in a case against a concert promoter who accused the singer of backing out of two New Year's Eve concerts in 2000.

A rep for Jacko was not available for comment.

Yah, and who's pocket is that tax going to come out of loser. Sure the heck, not mine. It does not matter who or what he is, you pay your bills just like everyone else does. Get a life you idiot. And people wonder why I am so glad that I am not American. Thank God for that, with retards like you living there.

15. Because you are a loser and recklessly spend all your money no one should correct a dime for this freak. He had more money than all us combine 10 times over. Life is hell and it's like that for the rest of us why not him!!!
